PS5 Slim teardowns confirm what we've all suspected, we've got another pretty chunky boy on our hands

The first teardown videos comparing the PS5 Slim to its predecessor have arrived, and it seems the new console isn’t that much leaner than the chunky model it’s replacing.

One of these videos (thanks, VGC) has seen content creator Dave2D put the two side-by-side, eventually drawing the conclusion that the Slim is “not actually that much smaller” than the base PS5. That said, it seems the new model does succeed in being less bulky, with the YouTuber saying: “The first thing I noticed was how much lighter (the Slim) was…the weight difference was very substantial.”

In terms of numbers, when it comes to weight, the digital-only version of the new console clocks in at 2.6kg, compared to 3.4kg for its original counterpart. Meanwhile, the version with a disc drive weighs 3.2kg, making it a little lighter than the original’s disc variant, which weighs in at 3.9kg.
